Detailed Description of Activities:

Icebreaker

Emergence is the process of coming into being, or of becoming important or prominent. For our icebreaker we will provide each participant with a note card and ask them to complete the sentence I imagine a world in which given 2-3 minutes. After all participants have completed the task they will introduce themselves and reveal their answer. One of the facilitators will model (e.g. My name is Brittany and I imagine a world in which all women have access to education.) Briefly Contextualize and Introduce the 4 Ds concept Discover Dream Design Deliver Card and Chart (Discover of the 4 Ds) Round 1 (Stakeholder groups) 1. Split participants by stakeholder group 2. 7 minutes to identify up to five responses to the statement: Our group values ____. (Be sure to write large enough for everyone to see!) 3. Place note cards on your stakeholders circle 4. Share your responses with the group and post Round 2 (Cross groups) 1. Split participants into 6 discussion groups with each group containing representatives from only two stakeholder groups. 2. Create 3-5 note cards based on shared insights with facilitators walking around the room to monitor group discussion (10 minutes) Round 3 (Entire group) 1. 10 minute full group facilitated discussion to debrief previous exercise 2. Each stakeholder group has an opportunity to re-arrange all note cards on the Venn diagram as they see fit. Other stakeholder groups may not comment during this process (3 minutes each, 12 minutes total). 3. 10-15 minute full group facilitated discussion to finalize the venn diagram, identifying 3-5 commonalities as a shared vision

Notes To My FALSCH Self (Am I walking the talk?): How does my content address issues of power and privilege in society? Does it help to build more inclusive, equitable and sustainable communities, societies and social institution? How do my facilitation strategies address issues of power, privilege and participation in the session? Are we walking the talk?
